Blacky’s story: Blacky was left at Orange County Animal Care by the only family he had ever known. He was going blind, and they decided they no longer wanted him. There he sat, on the euthanasia list, with little hope. But something about this guy pulled at the heartstrings of the volunteers at Labradors and Friends, who rescued him. The rescue discovered that Blacky had glaucoma in his damaged eye that was causing him pain. Medical treatment didn’t work, so Blacky’s eye was removed. Sadly, he lost his eye and his foster home at the same time. He’s been at a boarding facility since, and would love a real home for the holidays. Blacky is loving and affectionate and wants nothing more than to be with his person. He’s house-trained and knows basic cues. He doesn’t do well with cats or small dogs, but is good with easygoing dogs once they are properly introduced. Blacky doesn’t require any special care – just lots of love.
